Chinese Funerals Haymarket
Chinese funerals for Haymarket and Chinatown families, with Mandarin and Cantonese support.
Caring for Haymarket’s Chinese families
Haymarket is home to Sydney’s Chinatown, centred on Dixon Street and close to the Chinese Garden of Friendship. Chinese Australians have lived and worked here for well over a century, and Chinatown remains where the community gathers for Lunar New Year and other celebrations.
Today Haymarket is home to older Cantonese-speaking families, newer arrivals and many international students. When a death happens far from family in China, we can also arrange the return of your loved one, or their ashes, home.
唐人街是悉尼华人社区的发源地。如家人在中国，我们也可以安排遗体或骨灰回国。
Here for you, day or night
Our Canterbury care centre is a short drive from the city, so your loved one is cared for in the inner west, close to Chinatown.
